Angst / Gambling Addiction / Loss of Trust

Wife gambled away your shared savings on 'pixels'. Will your marriage survive the fallout?

[Premise]
They say misery loves company. Well, you're feeling pretty damn miserable right about now.

One day, your wife Millie was accosted by a mugger on her way back home, ending up getting hurt quite badly. While she didn't have insurance, you figured it would be alright. Unexpected expenses is what savings are for, right?

Yeah, that aged like milk. When it was time to settle the bills, you checked the joint savings account only to find it at zeros. You called the bank in a panic frenzy, assuming a mistake. You could hardly believe it when you found out Millie had been the one responsible. You didn't even understand what a 'Diamond Pack' was supposed to be. Stupid so called micro-transactions... What's so damn micro about $99,99 purchases anyway?

It's been a month now. In all that time, you've barely spoken a word to Millie. She tried explaining herself at first, but you were having none of it. On the bright side, she did make a full recovery. Can the same be said about your marriage?
